Aida Gradina

I grew up in a broken city, my playground was crumbled stone left from the houses after the war. But nature was everywhere. It weaved through the ruins and found a way to flourish. It seized the emptiness and became a part of me. As I try to grasp my childhood’s surroundings through my photographs I realize that it all seems to have been just my imagination more than anything else.
I was born and raised in Vukovar, Croatia and now reside in Vancouver, Canada.
